		<description><![CDATA[Man, is this post ever being overthought.  

He&#039;s not saying she&#039;s a bad person, for chrissake.  He&#039;s saying she&#039;s not his cup of tea.  For the record, given his reaction to a photo she probably thought was cute, he ain&#039;t hers either.  But, to prove they are open and broad-minded, they should what?  Date each other?

This is rather like the black guys (yes, I&#039;m going there) who hit on you with the actual line that you&#039;d date them if you aren&#039;t prejudiced.  When you laughed in their face, they&#039;ll grin and say it was worth a shot and we&#039;d move on no harm, no foul, other than the fact that these were not the men of color that I did date.  I was left thinking what kind of stupid white chicks out there is that line working on?  

Yet, they must exist because this line is still around 30 years after the first time I heard it.  This amazes me.  What am I going to jump into bed with you to prove I&#039;m not a bigot?  I really don&#039;t think so.  Kriskaten, Sue, Dumb Panda, would you?  If so, Wash and Lark and Washington Park seem to be among their favorite hang-outs.

For all we know, this chick and Kevin might be great friends if they met under a different venue but that&#039;s not what happened.  I don&#039;t know how this dating service works but I&#039;m not reading any report of her contacting him either.

So I&#039;m left wondering why other people care so much that two people who have utterly no desire to hook up, aren&#039;t?  WTF!!!

J. Eric, you are a lucky man.  Me, I meet people face to face or I can&#039;t be bothered.  It&#039;s not like men are hard to come by.  But even face to face, J. Eric, you are lucky and so is your wife.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you Kevin. If I was talking to someone on one of these sites and then I saw a picture of him and he’s an attractive guy, but an attractive guy who was sitting shirtless, wearing a banana hammock and kissing his biceps I would dismiss him as well. I would think EWWWW this guy is a skeeve, not WOW, he’s got a great body.  I don’t think there’s anything wrong with realizing BEFORE you set out for a date that its’ not going to work out. It’s better than wasting your time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t quote which comment said that these sites like you to pose a full body shot &amp; that&#039;s all she had.  Or one where they said that there was nothing wrong with posing the way she did to be sexy.  

IMHO, you can do a full body sexy pose without looking like... um... a &quot;sexy cowgirl&quot; if you know what I mean.  I&#039;ve seen sexy people in jeans &amp; t-shirts. It&#039;s the way you carry yourself &amp; photo. That&#039;s it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;But it does say a lot about her.&quot; Right, and you can&#039;t see it. Let me put this another way so you understand where I&#039;m coming from. Besides telling you this is someone you can&#039;t see yourself with, how about listing twenty five other things the photograph tells you about her?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I for one do not think you are a jerk for passing this half naked on the internet chick by. A picture like that (to me) says classless. It&#039;s making a conscious decision to project that side of yourself on a dating site that would turn me off. The whole insta sexualization aspect of it. 

Back in my online dating days I routinely passed by guys who had topless cheese shots of themselves posted. If we haven&#039;t even had coffee, I do not want to see your nipples.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Waitta second...You turned down the chick because she dressed up as a sexy cowgirl...But in the pic you have there, of the shoulders up, you clearly have a look straight out of Heath Ledger&#039;s Joker performance, minus the make up.  I suggest reconsidering, if only to talk to this girl a lil more.]]></description>
